Hi, my name is Cassie and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania. I have experience working with a diverse population of clients of all age groups. I use an integrated theoretical approach to counseling and tailor the treatment to the client’s individual needs. I strongly believe in meeting the client where they are at and helping them get to where they want to be. I also believe that one of the most important things that you can do in life is invest in yourself to heal all parts that need healed and work on becoming your best self. I am familiar with energy healing, and I am a certified Reiki Master Practitioner. I am very passionate about helping my clients heal and become their best selves, helping them achieve their desired goals, and helping them feel more satisfied overall with their lives. Healing starts here: therapy for a better you!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is all about getting to know you and beginning to build a supportive, trusting therapeutic relationship. We’ll start with a clinical intake, which includes an initial assessment and a collaborative conversation about your history, current concerns, and any goals you may have. This helps me get a clear understanding of what’s bringing you in and what you’d like to work on moving forward. Together, we’ll shape a personalized treatment plan that’s tailored to your unique needs and aligned with the kind of progress you hope to make. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out. Whether you come in with specific goals or just a sense that something needs to change, I’ll meet you where you are, and we will take the first steps forward together.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am committed to creating a therapeutic space that is characterized by active listening, collaboration, strength building, and empathy. By collaborating with clients and employing a supportive, caring, and understanding approach, in addition to identifying their strengths, areas of growth, and the obstacles that are preventing them from achieving their goals, I am able to facilitate the process of goal attainment and problem-solving. I am able to appreciate the complex nature of my clients' experiences and provide tailored interventions that are uniquely suited to their needs. My ultimate goal is to empower my clients to achieve their desired outcomes, promote their overall mental health and wellbeing, and help them to improve their lives.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with clients of all ages—including children, teenagers, young adults, adults, and older adults. In our sessions, you’re encouraged to share whatever’s on your mind—whether you’re navigating specific issues, looking for guidance, healing, a space to simply be yourself, or even if you aren’t quite sure where to start. Together, we’ll take the time to uncover what areas of your life could benefit from support and growth, identify what matters most to you, and create meaningful, achievable goals that align with the kind of life you want to live. As we continue working together, you’ll begin to feel better, gain clarity, and build momentum toward positive change. You don’t need to have all of the answers—just a willingness to begin. Wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to support you every step of the way with compassion, care, and a genuine commitment to helping you live a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Cassandra is literally the best therapist I have been lucky enough to have. I've had therapists before for years, but we just clicked! I myself am a very spiritual/holistic person, and one of the things I greatly appreciate about her is her open-mindedness to that. I feel like our sessions are a good balance of humor, fun, introspection, and reflecting. I struggle with OCD and ADHD, and Cassandra has helped me change my thinking as well as ways to better identify my feelings, and how to best approach it.

My treatment methods

Integrative

I utilize an integrated theoretical approach to counseling that draws upon a variety of evidence-based therapies and tailor the treatment to a client’s individual needs to provide the best possible support. My approach incorporates several modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy, among others. I believe that each client is unique and requires an individualized approach that caters to their specific needs. Therefore, I adapt my therapeutic style and techniques to suit the client's goals, preferences, and personality. Through personalized guidance and support, I aim to empower my clients with new tools that help them better navigate the unpredictability of life and achieve their desired goals to help them live the life that they truly want to live.
